Last Sunday, we skated in the St-Patrick's Parade, so I'd switched my wheels to outdoor wheels and forgot to switch back to indoor wheels. This made me a little shakier on my skates just because the wheels are narrower and have a slightly curved edge which totally threw me off balance when I landed on it at one point. It was fun though. I have a nice bruise on my thigh as a result.
I often feel that now that I've made a team, everytime I don't bring out my A-game, I'm letting down a whole group of people. I feel their judging eyes. I feel my coaches watching me, analyzing my skating. Its intimidating. But then someone will offer me some advice or ask me to partner up with them in a drill or give me a high-five after teaming up with me in scrimmage, and all my insecurities vanish. I'm felling increasingly integrated in my team.
Now, to prevent myself from falling back into my funk, I've got an apt. to clean and some alone-time crafts to work on.
